Winter Soldier Investigation

The Winter Soldier Investigation was a public inquiry held in 1971 by a group of Vietnam veterans and activists, aiming to expose and document war crimes and misconduct committed during the Vietnam War. Modeled after the 1971 Senate hearings on the My Lai Massacre, it featured veterans providing testimonies about atrocities such as torture, killings, and unethical military practices. The event sought to raise awareness, challenge official narratives, and advocate for accountability and anti-war efforts by highlighting first-hand experiences of those involved in the conflict.
